He upheld freedom of speech by being silent after Chappaquiddick and then fought for Terry Schiavo by promoting people's right to die. Is he America's great or greatest?

And yet they elect him again. I'd be questioning the mindset of the people in Massachusetts that keep putting him in there. I wouldn't be able to look in the mirror every morning. I'm from New York and I found it extremely easy NOT to vote for Hillary. I just got in touch with my morals in the voting booth. I wish more people had too. Maybe it's the water?

Red herring. Red herring. Nearly 1/2 the people in the US weren't even born when Chappaquiddick happened.
Since then, Kennedy's performed well according to people in his state who keep electing him. You believe in Article I, Sec. 3 and the 10th & 17th Amendments, and the concept of States' Rights don't you?
Schiavo -- do you believe in the right of individuals to make personal, private family decisions without interference from the state? Most people in the US do.
Those are rhetorical questions, btw. No responses expected.

What does his political history say about the people of Massachusetts, "Ole Kennedy might be a drunken, misogynistical Chappaquiddickal driving off a bridge leave a girl to drown Democrat, but he's our drunken, misogynistical Chappaquiddickal driving off a bridge leave a girl to drown Democrat".

BTW I guess we the people made sure he wont work again after his bridge stunt that's why the good folks in Mass keep re-electing him

Yes. To those sitting behind bars wishing they had gotten away with murder, he is a true American hero.

the greatest hero's are Thomas Jefferson and John F. Kennedy.
Ted is like the rest of them, more concerned with his own well being than others.

Hell no!! He's a sick lazy bastard and the only reason he got elected was because of his last name. He is the worst politican elected. He killed a girl with his while he was drunk and got away with it,too.
